Reports of strange occurrences in the mountains of South Carolina have reached the desk of government agent John Strock. Though the Blue Ridge Mountains are not volcanic, rumblings and smoke have led some to fear an eruption. Then new reports emerge of unidentified objects racing across air, land, and water at incredible speeds. Behind it all is a mastermind named Robur whose ambition is as boundless as his genius. On his quest to stop Robur, Agent Strock is taken captive and finds himself onboard the Terror: a single vehicle with capacities far beyond anything mankind has seen before. Though global powers offer Robur enormous sums for his invention, he chooses to keep it—and its unrivaled power—for himself.

Book excerpt: ▶ 쥘 베른의 세계의 지배자(The Master of the World by Jules Verne)(1904)는 18장 구성의 모험 소설(Adventure Novel)로 장편 62편과 단편 18편으로 구성된 경이의 여행(The Voyages extraordinaires)의 일부입니다. 프랑스어 원제 Maître du monde. 번외적으로 쥘 베른의 여타 작품과 마찬가지로 번역자, 출판사, 출판시기에 따라 각기 다른 영어 제목으로 출간된 바 있으며, 판본이 많을수록 인기작품이라고 할 수 있습니다. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics)과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! B ▶ 세계의 지배자(The Master of the World by Jules Verne)(1904)는 쥘 베른이 생전에 발표한 마지막 작품 바다의 침략(Invasion of the Sea)(1905) 바로 직전의 작품으로 작가가 악화된 건강에도 불구하고, 집필하였습니다. 그래서일까요? 작품의 배경은 폭군(tyrants)과 전체주의(totalitarianism), 악당(villain)으로 가득한 디스토피아 블랙 소설(black novel)입니다. ▶ 작품의 배경은 1903년 여름, 미국 동부. 워싱턴 DC의 연방경찰서장(Head inspector in the federal police department) 존 스트록(John Strock)은 ‘정체불명의 속도로 움직이는 괴물체’를 조사하기 위해 노스캐롤라이나 블루리지 산맥(Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina)으로 수색을 떠납니다. 황당하게도 사건의 원인은 프랑스 발명가 로뷔르?! 그는 정복자 로뷔르(Robur the Conqueror by Jules Verne)(1886)에 등장해 ‘공기보다 가벼운 항공기’ 앨버트로스(Albatross)를 개발한 바로 그 인물입니다. ▶ I. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MOUNTAINS. “An eruption! An eruption!” The cry resounded from all sides. An eruption! The Great Eyrie was then indeed the crater of a volcano buried in the bowels of the mountains. And after so many years, so many ages even, had it reawakened? Added to the flames, was a rain of stones and ashes about to follow? Were the lavas going to pour down torrents of molten fire, destroying everything in their passage, annihilating the towns, the villages, the farms, all this beautiful world of meadows, fields and forests, even as far as Pleasant Garden and Morganton? ▷ 제1장. 산에서 일어난 일. “폭발! 폭발!” 사방에서 외침이 울려 퍼졌습니다. 폭발! 그레이트 아이리(Great Eyrie)는 실제로 산 속 깊은 곳에 묻힌 화산의 분화구였습니다. 그리고 그토록 오랜 세월이 흘러도 다시 깨어난 것일까? 불길에 더해 돌과 재의 비가 뒤따르려 했는가? 용암이 녹아내린 불의 급류를 쏟아내며 통과하는 모든 것을 파괴하고 마을, 마을, 농장, 초원, 들판, 숲으로 이루어진 이 아름다운 세상, 심지어 플레전트 가든(Pleasant Garden)과 모건턴(Morganton)에 이르기까지 전멸시킬 것입니까? ▶ 이번에 로뷔르가 미국 산자락에서 발명한 기계는 이름부터 무시무시한 공포(the Terror)! ‘공포’는 단 10미터 길이의 차량(ten-meter long vehicle)이지만, 자동차(automobile)인 동시에 쾌속정(speedboat)이자 동시에 항공기(aircraft)이기도 합니다. 심지어 잠수함(submarine)까지?! 수륙양용잠수항공기(水陸兩用潛水航空機)라니, 쥘 베른의 상상력은 그야말로 무한!! 스트록은 ‘공포’에 탑승한 자신을 발견하는데...?! ▶ XIII. ON BOARD THE TERROR. Now, was I on board the “Terror?” And was I alone with the Captain and his two men? This seemed probable, almost certain. The whole scene of our encounter rose before my eyes, Hart lying wounded upon the bank; Wells firing shot after shot, Walker hurled down at the instant when the grappling hook caught my belt! And my companions? On their side, must not they think that I had perished in the waters of Lake Erie? ▷ 제13장. ‘공포’에 탑승하다. 자, 나는 "공포"에 탑승하고 있었습니까? 캡틴과 그의 두 남자와 나 혼자였나요? 이것은 거의 확실해 보였습니다. 우리의 만남의 모든 장면이 내 눈앞에 떠올랐습니다. 하트는 부상을 입고 강둑에 누워 있었죠. 웰스의 총알이 연달아 발사되고, 갈고리 갈고리가 내 벨트를 잡는 순간 워커가 던졌습니다! 그리고 내 동료들은? 그들 편에서 그들은 내가 이리 호숫가에서 죽었다고 생각해야 하지 않겠습니까? ▶ 스트록은 ‘공포’를 체포(?!)하고자 하였으나, 혼자만의 힘으로는 도저히 무리였습니다. 그러나 경찰의 집요한 추적을 피해 로뷔르는 뇌우 속으로 도피하고, 결국 ‘공포’는 번개에 맞아 바다에 불시착합니다. 스트록은 가까스로 목숨을 건질 수 있었으나, 정작 로버의 시신은 행방이 묘연한데...?! 과연 1886년에 이어 1904년 또 다시 등장한 로뷔르는 어디선가 부활할 수 있을까요?! 아쉽게도 쥘 베른은 세계의 지배자(The Master of the World by Jules Verne)(1904) 출간 이듬해 1905년 세상을 떠납니다……. ▶ XVII. IN THE NAME OF THE LAW. Suddenly the “Terror” trembled as if from a violent shock. All her frame quivered, as the human frame quivers under the electric fluid. Struck by the lightning in the very middle of her powerful batteries, the air-ship spread out on all sides and went to pieces. With her wings fallen, her screws broken, with bolt after bolt of the lightning darting amid her ruins, the “Terror” fell from the height of more than a thousand feet into the ocean beneath. ▷ 제17장. 법의 이름으로. 갑자기 "공포"가 심한 충격을 받은 것처럼 떨렸습니다. 전기 유체 아래에서 인간의 골격이 떨리는 것처럼 그녀의 모든 골격이 떨렸습니다. 그녀의 강력한 배터리 한가운데에서 번개를 맞은 비행선은 사방으로 퍼져 나갔습니다. 날개가 떨어지고 나사가 부러지고 폐허 한가운데에서 번갯불이 번쩍이는 소리와 함께 "공포"가 천 피트가 넘는 높이에서 바다 아래로 떨어졌습니다. ▶ 정복자 로뷔르(1886)는 영화 세계의 지배자(Master of the World)(1961)의 원작이 되었으며, ‘비행선에 미친 과학자 로뷔르’란 흥미로운 캐릭터는 킴 뉴먼(Kim Newman)의 대체 역사 소설 The Bloody Red Baron(1995), 케빈 J. 앤더슨(Kevin J. Anderson)의 Captain Nemo: The Fantastic History of the Dark Genius(2002), T. E. 맥아더(T. E. MacArthur)의 The Volcano Lady(2012) 등에서 다시 만나실 수 있습니다. -목차(Index)- ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 24가지 키워드로 읽는 쥘 베른(Jules Verne)(1828~1905) 01. 장르소설(genre fiction)?! 아동 문학(children's books)?!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Master of the World Jules VERNE (1828 - 1905) Chief Inspector Strock gets the tough cases. When a volcano suddenly appears to threaten mountain towns of North Carolina amid the non-volcanic Blue Ridge Mountains, Strock is posted to determine the danger. When an automobile race in Wisconsin is interrupted by the unexpected appearance of a vehicle traveling at multiples of the top speed of the entrants, Strock is consulted. When an odd-shaped boat is sighted moving at impossible speeds off the New England coast, Stock and his boss begin to wonder if the incidents are related. And when Strock gets a hand-lettered note warning him to abandon his investigation, on pain of death, he is intrigued rather than deterred. Set in a period when gasoline engines were in their infancy and automobiles were rare, and when even Chief Inspectors had to engage a carriage and horses to move about, the appearance of a vehicle that can move at astounding speeds on land, on water - and as later revealed, underwater and through the air - marks a technological advance far beyond the reach of nations. It is technology invented by and for the sole benefit of a man who styles himself (with some justification) "The Master of the World." This book is a sequel to an earlier Verne novel, "Robur the Conqueror," but enough detail is given to fully appreciate this story without having first read the other.

The first-person narrator, John Strock, 'Head inspector in the federal police department' in Washington, DC, travels to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to investigate. He discovers that all the phenomena are being caused by Robur, a brilliant inventor. (He was previously featured as a character in Verne's Robur the Conqueror.)Robur has perfected a new machine, which he has dubbed the Terror. It is a ten-meter long vehicle, capable of operating as a speedboat, submarine, automobile, or aircraft. It can travel at the (then) unheard of speed of 150 miles per hour on land and at more than 200 mph when flying.Strock tries to capture the Terror but instead is captured himself. Robur drives the strange craft to elude his pursuers, heading to the Caribbean and into a thunderstorm. The Terror is struck by lightning, breaks apart, and falls into the ocean. Strock is rescued from the vehicle's wreckage, but Robur's body is never found. The reader is left to decide whether or not he has died.
